LOCAL RECORD.
Seven Families. An Intelligent Mill
nesotian is In tke city as advance agent for
six or seven families, who wish to leave
their long, severe winters for our short,
milJ ones; but he doesn't believe In leaping
in the dark, and wants to know what can
be done when h! gets here. Some lire
farmers and some mechanics. He is de
lighted with the Willamette Valley and if
he sees a prospect of plenty of work ahead
will advise his friends to co re to Oregon,
probably to Lin county. Sober, indus
trious, thrifty people, they arc the kind we
want here, and we hope to see our Minnc
sota friends navigate this way, believing
they possess the energy that makes busi-

Below we give the time made in the
principal contests at the State firemen's
tournament beginning with the organiza

has been considerable Inquiry In the mat

up this noon from
Seattle. - Yesterday afternoon Mr
Hoffman received a dispatch from Director
Kellogg that the tournament and State
Firemen's Association would be held at
Seattle instead of Portland, as the latlcr
place had failed to raise the necessary
funds, and the date has been changed to
July 2nd to Gth. Portland has been sub
scription ridden and even another straw
lay heavy on her back, while Seattle. vounii
and bou van t jumps to the front and offers
to raise the necessary amount, about $2000.
The change meets the approval of the fire
men here, as it will offer a much more en
joyable excursion for them, and then they
are anxious to visit a city that will knock
me cmp 011 i-oriianu s snouitier.
Fioureo Out. An Ohio man writes to
an Albany man about our country. He
has the matter well figured out. He
wishes to sell his farm, consisting of 185
acres, for$So to $100, the prevailing price
there, as he believes that is too much money
to have invested in farm property, and buy
one here for $Jo to $40. If he does so we
advise him not to get a larger one than he
now has. The trouble here is not in the
price but in the size of some of our farms.
Our farmers are carrying more land than
they can handle.
One Way Mr. Wallace, who has been
President of the Board of Trade of Greeley,
Colorado, while In the city told an Albany
man about how they attraced attention for
a small outlay. For $140 they run a small
advertisement, asking the readers to write
for descriptive pamphlets, In twenty-five or
thirty representative agricultural papers,
and from it received four thousand letters
of inquiry, resulting In considerable immi
gration. Why not try it.
At II alp Mast. In order to place No.
t's flag at half mast In this city yesterday
Mr Holman,the handsomest one of the boys,
climbed the flag pole and tacked the flag to
it. The rope had gotten out of the pole,
hence the necessity of the operation. The
G A R flag was also placed at half mast.
On Election Day, The ladies of the
Baptist Church will give a dinner on June
4th (election day) nt VV. C. T. U. Hall,
Dinner commencing at 11 a. m., followed
by lunch and social in evening. Tickets at
door 25 cents, Including dinner. Icecream
or straw ben ics extra.
Held. Geo. and Frank Cook, the half
breedi were held yesterday under $100
bonds for selling liquor to Indians and
are now boarding with Sheriff Smith. The
case was one that brought out considerable
ot the Inner life of our present race ot in
dians and half breeds and contained some
spicy details.
Landrktii. The Polk county murderer
was given a trial yesterday, a short, point
cd defenseless one, and found guilty. He
was to be sentenced nt one o'clock to
day. Hanging is almost too good for men
like nun. ,

Michigan, who is a candidate for the Presl
dency, and who passed through Alhun
with the Logan party, uovernor Alger s

this city, only more so. Fact. "
Removkii. Yesterday Dr Maston per
formed a successful operation In removing
n tumor from the face of J R Stockman,
nnd Mr. S. said that if he had known It
would have been as safe he would have had
it done years ago, and is now quite happy

In weekly Democrat of May 25th an
,tem needs correction, It is true that
Halscy has a 000m ; we have a new school
house ; we have a new store ; we have a
new butcher-shop ; we have a half barrel
of whiskey ; but that whiskey had not
reached the aforesaid butcher-shop when
last heard from. It rests quietly in the
depot and is quite an object of interest to
the average Halseyite.

another evidence that the liqour traffic
must be destroyed, and regulated. Prohi

law forddintr the sale of liquor to minors is
in Albany. We all know that the use of I

the "evils" of the linuor traffic is to destroy
the business. If association with the stuff
so degrades men, what effect has it on the'
manhood of those who have their taxes
paid by it ? What effect does it have on
the manliness of any city to have its streets
sprinkled, and its lamps'lighted at the price
of the degradation ot the weak ana vicious.

VALiwnLE Water. We are reliably
informed that the Albany water works,
ditch and mill property could be sold were
they not bonded, and could the price be
agreed on. This, when developed, will
make a good property, and it is to be de
sired that before many years the water
that comes rushing down from the San
tiam may turn the wheels of woolen and
ether mills in our city, instead of going
into the Willamette with a lazy, almost
fruitless splash. As we understand the
